Voting Now Open on 2008’s Most Veg-Friendly Colleges
The voting is now open for this year’s most veg friendly college competition. The bad news is that not one school in Worcester made it into the finals this year. The closest colleges that did make it, geographically speaking, are Wesleyan in Middletown, Connecticut and University of Rhode Island in Kingston, RI. Yale and Brandeis also made it onto the short-list; Brandeis is just outside Boston and Yale’s down in New Haven.
It’s a shame that no school in Worcester made it onto the list. We do have 13 colleges in town, one of them has a pretty well known vegetarian culinary arts program. If you didn’t click that link yet, here’s a hint: it’s the Seventh Day Adventist one. WPI and Clark have both made major strides in recent years to accommodate the growing number of vegetarians.
Clark’s cafeteria is great. They have some seriously good veg entrees. And if you’re lucky they’ll have some vegan cakes too. I’ve also heard rumors that Assumption College is taking some big steps towards improving the vegan selection on campus.
So, what do you think about the college food situation in Worcester? We can definitely do better, but come on! The veg options at WPI and Clark must be better than the University of Montana. Come on! Even they made it into the semi-finals.
